A few days later, Teigen addressed her past harassment of Stodden in a Twitter thread saying, in part, “I am mortified and sad at who I used to be. I was an insecure, attention seeking troll.” Stodden responded on Instagram saying, “I accept her apology and forgive her. But the truth remains the same, I have never heard from her or her camp in private.”
She went on to say she is “truly ashamed” of what she’s previously posted online, which also includes past harassment of other celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Teen Mom’s Farrah Abraham. “I’m in the process of privately reaching out to the people I insulted,” she said. “It’s like my own version of that show My Name Is Earl!” Teigen acknowledged that some of the people she has reached out to may not want to speak to her. “I don’t think I’d like to speak to me. ,” she wrote.
She said therapy and life experience has made her more empathetic. “I’m more understanding of what motivates trolling — the instant gratification that you get from lashing out and clapping back, throwing rocks at someone you think is invincible because they’re famous,” Teigen wrote. “Also, I know now how it feels to be on the receiving end of incredible vitriol. Believe me, the irony of this is not lost on me.
